Sometimes I wonder how many versions of ourselves we leave behind with a single decision. There's one version of me I think about more than I'd like to admit. I don't know who she became, where she lives, or whether she would've been happier... but somehow, she feels familiar. ㅤ The River Away From You came from that strange feeling. Not really wanting to undo the past, but quietly wondering about the person I might have become if, at one particular moment, I'd chosen differently. I guess some decisions don't disappear once we make them. We just learn to live alongside the lives they closed. ㅤ [VERSE] Morning found us getting older Your bare feet across the floor Sunday sunlight on your shoulder Your old jacket by the door Nothing happened worth remembering Still I remember everything We'd miss the ending of the movie Talking underneath our breath You'd steal the blanket, I'd complain Then pull you closer nonetheless No fireworks above the rooftops Just your head against my chest I can see that moment clearly Every shadow, every chair I can picture it so perfectly Though I have never once been there ㅤ [PRE-CHORUS] Some lives can feel like memories ㅤ [CHORUS] The river split beneath the moon My water slowly drifted away from you The river split beneath the moon I let the current carry me away from you ㅤ [CHORUS] The river split beneath the moon My water slowly drifted away from you The river split beneath the moon I let the current carry me away from youmore
